Yeap! I'm from Toronto too! Scarborough actually, now live in Japan...Remember this classic from my High school days back in 83/84! Just an awesome song. Don't ya wish you could just go back in time to those days for about week and relive all those great memories I'm sure we all have??!!
This song has a melody that soars high in the 80's summer clouds, truly unforgettable , the most infectious beat and melody that could sum up the sensuos side of the 80's, truly the best, my personal fave forever
being a Canadian I think only Britain and Canada fell in love with new wave, i don't think new wave music was that big in the States.....most band's came from England and Canada......I'm not saying I didn't listen to Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi or G & R but New Order, Depeche Mode and Duran Duran were huge.
I agree 100%! I miss their old format from the early to mid 80's when they were "Toronto's Modern Rock" station. I've never heard a better station before or since then.
@WhateverUlike68 One of the best songs ? The Smiths, Fad gadget, Virgin Prunes, Minimal Compact, Sonic Youth, Gavin Friday, New Order, Tones on Tail, Bauhaus, etc, those are great bands. Boys Brigade is a minor band, weak music ! Sorry !
cfny or 102.1 Edge was awesome in the 80's... way ahead of it's time.

I LOVED the old CFNY and I miss it still.

Great melody. Great era. Hate getting old!
Great song! Brings back old memories of dancing at the clubs. I miss the 80's.
yes, there were some great relatively unknown Canadian bands....Blue Peter, M+M
This album by the Boys Brigade was also the first time Geddy Lee of Rush dove into producing an album for other talent. A fine job.
what an epic song - a one hit wonder for sure!
In the 80's I like Melody better, but this song stands the test of time much better.
I don't know about gay or not,but this is one of the best songs from the 80's for sure!! it still rocks for me.
saw them at UBC back in the 80's and still remember that good show , talented dudes wonder what happened to them
Malcolm Byrne was a good ambassador for New Wave Pop in Canada.
well more like 2 hit wonder....check out Boys Brigage - MELODY....you'll probably find it familiar, but this is their best song.

luv' the old ladies rockin' out, yeah!
Great Vid, glad you posted it. They could have been one of the truely great Canadian bands.
Melody was a good tune too. I thought they did for that too.

The passion of the song makes me want to add it to my playlist on RUclips!!!
Saw them open for the Stray Cats back in the day.
cfny was the shit!!!
AMEN!!!!!
God I miss this time!..theres no originality anymore
This just may be one of the original "Cougar" anthems, lol.
I gave you a Thumbs Up discokidX1, because that was a funny comeback.
i love the eighties!!! but not the fashion,.lol
lol nice one
you said it the last time anything felt NEW
I do
I guess you'd know...
ordureblanchie... I wonder what brought you to this song then, the fact that its good, or you know nothing about Canadian music in general.
nah, it's one of the original gay anthems
Good singer, bad taste in women however.lol
